Instagram Takeover

Hey Canada! Do you love taking photos? Do you want to share your story with Canadians and people around the world? Do you #SeeTheAbility?

If you said yes, we want YOU to be part of the Canadian Down Syndrome Society’s #WeSeeTheAbility Instagrammers. We want to show the world that Canadians #SeeTheAbility – and we want YOU to help us.

How to become an Instagrammer

We’re inviting four CDSS members to share their lives with Canadians and people around the world info the weeks approaching #CDNDownSyndromeWeek (November 1 to 7) on our Instagram account. Four Instagram curators – families and people with Down syndrome – will take over the account in the four weeks prior to Canadian Down Syndrome Week, sharing their lives and stories.

Until the end of the day on August 31, 2017, tag your posts on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with #WeSeeTheAbility or email us at kaitlynp@cdss.ca with your Instagram account and a 140 character-length explanation of how you ‘See the Ability’ (the length of a tweet). If you use Facebook, make sure your post is public so we can see it!

Here’s what we’re looking for in our #WeSeeTheAbility Instagrammers:

We’re not looking for professional photographers – but if you are one, that’s great! We’re looking for members of our community who want to share their lives with our followers
